The Gospel Is The Glory of Christ

There is no gospel without the declaration of Christ crucified for sinners and risen from the dead (1 Cor. 15:1-4)...When Paul speaks of "the gospel of the glory of Christ," he means that the events of the gospel are designed by God to reveal the glory of Christ...The gospel would not be good news if it did not reveal the glory of Christ for us to see and savor. It is the glory of Christ that finally satisfies our soul. We are made for Christ, and Christ died so that every obstacle would be removed that keeps us from seeing and savoring the most satisfying treasure in the universe-namely, Christ, who is the image of God. (John Piper, God is the Gospel)
